ORIGINAL: KBbottles
I know it's nothing too special or valuable, but I have been wanting to dig one of these whole for a very long time and finally did! One of those bottles that you really enjoy finding and keep for a very long time, despite the lack of embossing, scarcity, etc... This one is just all about the love of digging old glass and appreciating a nice looking hand-blown bottle. [
Congrats Ken! I've actually never dug a whole one...The only one I ever found whole was in a crawl space under my cousins house....There was an old trap door we pryed open with a scattering of bottles around it underneath...I was amazed to find it! It's much like yours and I still have it.

very nice ken,i've never dug one either.ya just never know. badger
I felt the same way. In all the years of digging, I've only found one case gin, (much like yours). I had always wanted to dig one up, after I found a headless one on a rafter in a basement, it only took me 15 years to do it! I have bought a few sealed and embossed ones, but the one I dug is still my favorite. Congratulations.

I never dug one whole either..congratz! [sm=thumbup.gif]
When I first started digging back in the 1970s, I badly wanted to find a blown case gin. For a long time I only found cracked , broken & machinemade ones. Finally, in a circa 1910 city dump, I found literally dozens...
Still have many of them, lovely bottles, often crudely made. Enjoy yours.
Good luck in future digs.
